Ecogreen Pharmacy Information

Ecogreen Pharmacy is an eco-friendly pharmacy that provides quality testedhealthcare products and services to the community. As you know, vitamins / dietary supplements and herbals remain essentially unregulated. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dietary supplements as a category of food through the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA).
